 The holidays are a special time for Marines and their families. This year, once again, many Marines are deployed or stationed overseas, some in harm's way. We recognize the sacrifice made by Marine families and share the pride you have in your Marine. We're proud of who you are and what you do, not just during the holidays, but every day. And so, from our family to yours, happy holidays, to our Marines, our families, our Gold Star families, and to our Marines no longer in uniform. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, God bless you, and Semper Fidelis.
